R&B singer, Maxwell, continues his legacy as one of the genre’s top singers. The just released “Lake by the Ocean”, which can be heard below, will be featured on the second installment of blackSUMMERSnight, which is part of an album trilogy. The song, with its sleek groove and its gorgeous rhythm, is already an early favorite of the summer of 2016 in my book. The singer, who notoriously takes time between creating albums, croons over the silky beat “Love on trust/On us/nobody now/can we swim a lake by the ocean”. Listen to the gem of a song below.

Los Angeles band Night Lights is ready to unleash their quirky dance sound and assault your senses with their latest song “Childish”. The band members, Mau Jimenez, Yusuke Sato, Jeff Kinsey, Dag Hanken, who make up Night Lights, have a garage jam session in the new video. The video, itself, is a play off the song title as a happily married couple pulls pranks on each other which helps them to play better in the end. Night Lights infused dance-able rock tunes follows in the footsteps of pop rock act Walk The Moon. Night Lights is following up 2014’s EP…

Iggy Azalea just released her new single “Team” from her new forthcoming album, Digital Distortion. This is Azalea’s first solo single in over three years.

The band worked in Butch Vig’s basement and Red Razor Sounds recording studio as they drew on a multitude of sources for inspiration. “The guiding principle was keeping it fresh, and relying on instinct both lyrically and musically”, said frontwoman Shirley Manson.

The Lumineers worked really hard to help re-revolutionize the folk genre a few years back and bring it to the forefront of mainstream America. The collective known for the singles “Ho Hey” and “Stubborn Love” reached the masses in 2011 and 2012. Now the band is back with a new album called Cleopatra and the lead single “Ophelia” has been released. I am really rooting that this band still can stay relevant during the EDM and pop times we live in. Not bad for a band coming from Denver, Colorado. Check out their new song below.

Rihanna just released her first official single from her upcoming album Anti. The new single “Work” finds herself teaming up with rapper Drake again and although the beat is catchy, the lyrics are boring and repetitive and just a reflection that RiRi is running out of steam. Check it out and decide for yourself via New Music Express. Anti is slated to drop this week.

Erykah Badu just unleashed her prowess rhyming ability on us once again and this time she is remixing Kanye West’s newest single “Real Friends” called “Trill Friends”. The hook to her remix “Homeboys, homegirls, some of them we wish we never knew at all,” is addicting. The original song created by West is one of new singles that will be released every Friday in start of his new Swish promotional record campaign. Swish is due out Feb. 11. As far as Fat Baby Bella (aka Erykah Badu) is concerned, the remix of “Trill Friends” will appear on her up coming mixtape THIS $h!t…

Coldplay are back with what might be their final album. They debuted the tripped-out dance tune”Adventure of a Lifetime” this past Friday. It is the first single off the upcoming A Head Full of Dreams. “When we finished “Adventure of a Lifetime”, we were like, ‘Okay we are probably ready to come out again.’ This is one of those songs that brings everything else together on a project,” Chris Martin tells Sirius Radio. “I’m not really on it that much — I sing a bit and play a bit of piano — but it’s really the rest of the band…

Adele is back with her new single “Hello” off her upcoming new album 25. It’s a lush piano break up power ballad. Get your tissues ready…
